Must be due to ARC (Audio Return Channel). HTPC to a different HDMI port in AVR. Turn off ARC feature in AVR.

Hohoo...Finally I am joining this thread as I recently bought yamaha HTR 3067 after a very long research. Thanks to everyone.
Can anyone suggest 5.1 speakers either as an individual speaker or combined package that comes a total of Rs 30000 or less suitable for HTR 3067.
I know this is very tight budget which I cant expect more. Still if people can tell me good bookshelf speakers for front and rear with woofer within this price range, it will be very helpful. Anything slightly higher than 30000 rs is also fine.
Interest will be 50%-50% movies/music.
Thanks

I happened to come across HiFiVision after buying my HT. From what i checked, my choice of AVR RX-V477 seems to be good.
My total HT budget was 30-35k and after spending 250$ for the Receiver I was left with 18k for the speakers.
To avoid the hassles of mixing and matching speakers, I checked some HTIB configurations with similar AVR and bought Yamaha NS-P40 speakers from Reliance Digital at a price of 17k.
1) I was wondering why everyone here seems to pair the Yamaha AVRs with a different brand speaker set ?
Haven't yet setup the system and I hope i haven't made a bad choice for the speakers
2) I came to HiFiVision searching for the Wattage for the converter as the manual specifies Power consumption as 260W and Max power consumption as 600W (for Asia model, but doesn't specify for US model and i don't think it would be way off for it)
Has anyone tried if the internal conversion method (modifying the primary of the transformer) works for this model ?
If not, should my converter be 2x of the 260W or 600W rating ?

Sanjay, congratulations.
1) I think you are asking about the step down transformer, if yes here is what I am using for Yamaha RX-V477 which needs ~250W so I bought a step down 220 to 110 with a rating of 750W(Maxine). In my opinion 500W should also work fine but I just went to the safer side as I had burned down AVR one time earlier.
Also I would advice that if you plan to go for any other device in future buy a 1 kva step down right away.
2) Please do let me know the experience with your NSP 40 as I am also waiting to buy a 5.1 set

Hi Gvravi
Can you tell me if an external hard disk can be connected to your yamaha and if movies can be watched through it.
Also, did you finalise your speakers? Since I have also finalised the same avr I would be keen to have your feedback.
Your Yamaha was probably made in Malaysia for the US market. The US market transformers are not wound with a dual voltage primary, and their insulation is rated for 60 Hz. You will need an external transformer at the very least, and while the internal transformer will perform perfectly 50 Hz you must be careful to provide additional cooling to avoid challenging the insulation in the windings.
A 1KVA converter should be easy to find, and will be adequate for even the most complex high energy sound source.
You will enjoy the sound with this puppy.
guys i purchased my yamaha rx v375 receiver from amazon.com and got it shipped to india through a friend of mine but when i tried to switch it on india for the first time it din't get switched on any clues on what might be the problem??? (pls note: i connected it to a step up voltage converter to convert my 220v in india to 110v before switching it on)
I have just bought Yamaha rx 479. Wanted to know which 5,1 speakers systems to go for. My room size is 20x12 (L shaped open) and viewing distance is 17 ft. My requirement will be 95% movies and cable tv. Will be watching mainly downloaded english drama movies so need strong centre speaker which can give me good vocals.
Budget is about 35k, and stretching it to 50k
I have demoed the following:
Polk 6750 at Profx, kurla
Morel at M Z Audio, Bandra
Boston S at Viola, Andheri
Paradigm (don't remember model) at Final Touch, Santacruz
Klipsh and Jamo 360 35s at Cinebels, Bandra
Jamo 360 25s at Beats 99, Ghatkopar
Elac at Kripa Electronics, Santacruz (with the guy from Final Touch)
From the above, I didn't like Polk, Paradigm, Morel or Klipsh. Liked the Boston which was well within my budget but am told Boston has stopped supplying to India so no stocks available. Sort of liked Elac but loved the Jamo 360 35s. But unfortunately its way too expensive for me at 67k. The Jamo 360 25s is still affordable but I think the sub is slightly underpowered for my room size. Though when I heard it at Beats99 I liked it since I think the owner showed it to me with a bigger sub. Mr. Vikas at Cinebels which is the official distributer for Jamo told me he would never suggest the 360 25s to me as it would not suit my needs. A very helpful, knowledgeable and straightforward guy indeed.
So now I am back to square one and after all these auditions I do not know where else to go. Most places have only one model for demos and most often its not one you are interested in. Can anyone give me suggestions based on the above as to which speakers I should look for and where in Mumbai can I find them for demo.
There's Taga Harmony inMove at Hifi mart, Monoprice 10565 and Bic America 32 and Energy take classic at Avenue Sound. Not very sure about any of these.
I think with my needs I will have to go for the top end of my budget as only that may give my a more powerful sub. If only Jamo was a little cheaper :-(
Please give me suggestions.

Hi,
Just bought Yamaha RX-V579 from Dubai as the deal I was getting was too good to let go!!! Currently using old HTB speakers but that already feels like under utilising the receiver. Can anyone suggest a good speaker package to go with it? While it's 7.2, I am looking for using it for 5.1 right now.

Hi,
Bought a new Yamaha RX-v677 Receiver from the US as there was an amazing deal on Amazon. A friend of mine who was returning from the states had ample space to fit in an A/V receiver, carried it for me.
Currently, I have set it up as a 2.1 setup.
Front R-L: Wharfedale 210
Sub: Polk PSW110
Planning to build the system slowly. Add a centre channel and then add a pair of floor standings, moving the current front speakers to rears as surrounds.
Is there any incremental advantage to add a centre channel now? or 2.1 is good enough? My usage is Music 50% and Movies 50%

My Yamaha RX-V667 remote has stopped working. What are the options I have? Replacement remotes in ebay/aliexpress cost around 2k, but I'm not sure how long they will last.
Any recommended universal remote which could map to all the functions of this AVR?

I was having problem of HTPC not recognising My YAMAHA receiver 677. After searching in internet and some trial and error methods finally My HTPC is recognising the receiver. I have followed the following steps.
1. I have connected HTPC to Yamaha through HDMI.
2. Disconnected the YAMAHA HDMI out to Panasonic TV.
3. Connected HTPC DVI out to HDMI in to Panasonic TV.
4. After switching on I could see that YAMAHA receiver in HTPC audio devices, I selected the YAMAHA receiver as my Default device and saved.
5. Normalised the HDMI out from YAMAHA receiver to Panasonic TV.
After above settings, I could get audio signal from HTPC to YAMAHA. Earlier audio signal was diverted through TV, and if I switch off the TV, audio signal was getting cut off.

For excellent sound that won't break the bank, the 5 Star Award Winning Wharfedale Diamond 12.1 Bookshelf Speakers is the one to consider!
